sey built a tunnel under the

expense. New York's share of
the profits will amount to $24,
nno,nOO in the time that it will
take to build a new tunnel. So
another tunnel is to be built
nnd four more after the first
two all out of net profits.
flood roads, bridges, canals,
tunnels, power and irrigation
plants that would pay for
themselves, are needed all over

the work. Hut government
should do the work, and will,
if intelligently and honestly
managed.
Scientists, discovering that a
small spiral nebula is flying
. jl'f into space at 2500 miles per
, 'jeeond feel lilte' "lie" farmer
'. who cried on first seeing a gi
raffe, "There is no such itui-
' mill " At en. minora inv 'Tllero
' is no such speed."
And they decide that "the
apparent speed is due to a
crumpling of space, a relativ
ity effect."
M
When puzzled, mention rela
tivity, which means nothing.
Science admits a cosmic speed
of about 1250 miles per second.
Why balk at 2500 miles?
Light and electricity travel
,186,000 miles a second. What's
to prevent an infinitely tenons
nebula from speeding along at
1'500 miles!
M
Jf a man started traveling at
' the speed of light, through
'space, say the scientists, he
would ultimately come back t.
the point whence he started.
"This is a closed universe," say
the wise ones, and space is not
unlimited.
It is not a (dosed universe,
but great scientists have finite
minds, unable to grasp the in
finite. And their "closed uni
verse" discussion is worthy of
hoptoads beside the track spec
ulating on the limitations of a
passing express train. "Sir,"
, said .-Samuel donnson, to a
group discussing free will and
predestination, "we know the
will is free and there's an end
yofit."
You feel inclined to say to
the "closed universe" hoptoad
scientists, "Sirs, we know the
universe is infinite, because it
could not possibly be anything
else, and there's an end of
that."
M
Very late, perhaps altogether too
late, trttlHh doctors are talking of
blood transfusion for the king. The
simple oieratlon, resorted to at
once, might have Havcd the kind's
life.
Ilia doctors say "It la not ao much
that the king la III. as that he in
not getting well." KTesh new blood
would make him well. Tired blood
